Question

A science test, which is worth 100 points, consists of 24 questions. Each question is worth either 3 points or 5 points. If x is the number of 3-point questions and y is the number of 5-point questions, the system shown represents this situation. x + y = 24 3x + 5y = 100 What does the solution of this system indicate about the questions on the test? The test contains 4 three-point questions and 20 five-point questions. The test contains 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions. The test contains 14 three-point questions and 10 five-point questions. The test contains 20 three-point questions and 8 five-point questions.

Answer 1

the answer to this question is b

Answer 2

x + y = 24

3x + 5y = 100

Using the graphic method, we can easily see that the solution of the system is
(x,y) = (10,14)

Which means that there are 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions
